Stay safe, stay in Pariwana
Due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 and thinking about the health of our guests and staff, we have adopted biosecurity and control measures that are aligned with the standards established by the authorities.
During all these months we have been working hand in hand with health specialists to train our team. Seeking to offer you a safer experience, without neglecting the quality of service characteristic of Pariwana Hostels.
Improved Security Protocols
We have adapted our cleaning protocols to guarantee your safety during your stay with us.
Our staff is trained to operate in accordance with all health and safety protocols related to COVID-19, to keep you even safer while traveling. Regardless of your query, we are fully prepared to assist you with any health, safety and hygiene issue.
In application of the measures established by the health authorities, cleaning services will be suspended. However, if your stay is 5 days or more, you will be given a fresh set of bed sheets so that you can change them. Cleaning staff will use Personal Protective Equipment at all times.
We are disinfecting all shared and work areas. We will emphasize high contact points such us switches, handrails, door handles, locks, faucets and surfaces.
We have reduced the capacity of each hostel to guarantee adequate social distancing.
All of our cleaning and disinfecting products have the certificates required by the Peruvian Government.
A Contactless Check-in Process
This is what we are doing to minimize any unnecessary physical contact from the moment you arrive.
In accordance with government guidelines, every person who enters the hostel must disinfect footwear, measure the temperature, disinfect clothings, personal items, and hands.
We only require guests to sign forms when absolutely necessary. The forms will be provided to you on a previously disinfected board so that you can sign them, respecting the corresponding distance. The disinfected key will be given to you in a small tray and the bracelet will be placed on you following the distancing and disinfection protocols.
We are limiting the use of cash in our hostels. Any transaction made will be charged to an account so that you can pay it via credit card or bank transfer prior to check out.
Don’t wait in line at the reception if you don’t have in order to comply with the social distancing requirement. Whatever your requests are, you can ask one of our friendly staff by WhatsApp. At the check-in process, we will provide you with a WhatsApp number where you can communicate with our staff throughout your stay with us. Let’s be smart and be safe!!!
